"I needed to fix ceiling insulation after a major leak into the living room. The insulation was pulled up to allow things to dry out, but the company that did the drying (Stanley Steamer) said they would not put the insulation back. I called Ace because of all the great reviews on yelp. The bid was $650. I accepted it, and an excellent workman arrived on time as arranged. Here is the rub: The workman was finshed in 1/2 hr (!!!!!), and my jaw dropped. I thought for the price must be going to take at least a few hours. I had agreed to the price, though, so I wrote the check, as well as an email to the estimator for the job explaining how distressed I was by this. The email was passed to the manager of the Sacramento office, who called me right away. He said he would have felt the same, and that he would tear up the check and give me a new price. We met the next week, and he charged me half of the original bid. He gave me my original check and took my new check for $325. Here is what you should know about the price: The invoice had two *Service* items: a *show up fee* of $250, and another called *Work performed as per quote. This was followed by a *Quote adjustment based on actual work* of -$325. I truly appreciate the businesslike approach to the work: On time, done right as best I can tell. I also appreciate the response to my distress over the clear miscalculation. In spite of this, I feel overcharged even at half the original quote. The *show up fee* should have covered everything, so the maximum bill should have been $250. There was extremely little work performed, even if it was done well and professionally. In retrospect, I have no idea what the estimator included in $400 for *Work performed as per quote.* What did Ace do wrong? The estimator should have seen there was less than an hours work involved and told me that the minimum charge would be $250 to show up. If there were other minimum charges, such as a minimum of an hour of work, those should have been explained by the estimator so that I had some basis for understanding the bid and the opportunity to decide that the price was possibly going to be too high. The estimator said nothing about this, and there was no detail in the estimate. I believe I have given a fair revue for this disappointing experience. Ace has excellent customer service, and as best I can tell, the work was performed well. The pricing at first was way out of line, and ultimately still seems to me to be too high. But the job is done, and I am sure if there is any reason to, Ace will stand behind their work."

"Last week I had Landmark energy upgrades, do energy efficiency work at my home. The work included sealing all my duct-work in the attic as well as sealing all the spots between the living space below and blowing in additional insulation in order to bring me up to today's standards. I also had them replace all the duct work in my crawlspace and seal it as well as when they came for their initial inspection they found that my duct-work was riddled with holes and was completely uninsulated as well as being unsealed. I initially contacted Landmark after receiving notification that they were offering assorted rebates for home owners to incentivize them to do upgrades to there homes.
I was super pleased with these guys, a total of two crews worked on our home and they were both quick, professional, and explained what they would be doing in detail when they first arrived. They also did a good job cleaning up after themselves. Immediately I noticed a difference in my home after the work was finished. The HVAC system weren?t running nearly as much and the temperature in the home was absolutely more consistent.  Landmark Energy Upgrades promptly handled all the paperwork required in order for me to receive my rebates making this part of the process extremely easy. I fully recommend these guys!

"Craig, good natured guy whose rig was wide and access to the property was difficult. After looking at numerous solutions, he had to back out blind and didn't hurt a twig doing it. Arrived on time, job took exactly time estimated, and appears to have topped off the job with few more inches than required. Best price as well. I was impressed. Definitely call again on other work and recommend to friends and clients."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

It’s not a good idea to plaster over broken plaster (unless by broken you’re referring to cracked, in which case that’s perfectly fine). However, broken plaster can be a sign of a larger underlying issue like foundation damage or severe damage to the lath holding up the plaster, so it’s worth investigating before you simply plaster on top of the damage.

When sanding drywall mud, you’re going to create a very fine dust that may contain silica. Silica dust contains crystalline silica, which can cause long-term illnesses for people who inhale it in significant quantities. Wear a mask while sanding drywall. Then dampen a drywall sponge to wipe the dust off the drywall, helping to reduce the amount of dust that may become airborne.

You can take a few steps to save money on drywall installation, even when hiring a professional to do the bulk of the work for you. These ideas include the following:

  • Buy the drywall and other materials yourself to avoid product markup and delivery fees

  • Ask about discounts if you use the same company to tape, spackle, and paint

  • Hire drywall professionals in the winter when demand is the lowest

  • DIY as many parts of the project as possible, like replacing insulation and painting

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud. 

Options include bricks, natural stone, and concrete blocks. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and budget.
